Ulysses

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of Dublin on June 16, 1904, the narrative follows Leopold Bloom through an ordinary day, intricately paralleling Homer's "Odyssey" with its eighteen episodes. Joyce employs experimental prose, stream of consciousness, and rich allusions, creating a complex text that invites endless interpretation. This edition draws from the original 1922 publication, often regarded as the most accurate amidst various revised editions. Celebrated as a Modernist masterpiece, it remains a pivotal work in English literature, challenging readers and critics alike.
